ICON+

The new BMW M3 Sedan. Radically more.

An uncompromising four-door high-performance sports car of breathtaking design. With an array of motorsport-inspired technical innovations. For even greater dynamism and even more agile handling. For adrenalin-steeped driving moments where one thing instantly becomes clear: This is about setting personal bests – the BMW M3 Sedan.

The new BMW M3 Sedan is a four-door high-performance sports car with M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine developing up to 331 kW (450 hp) – ample for spontaneous performance at any revs. An array of motorsport-inspired innovations guarantee breathtaking dynamics and high-precision handling. A model athlete that pushes back the limits.

DESIGN+

CHARACTER+

The BMW M3 Sedan: extremely sporty, with an iconic presence and a performance capacity steeped in efficient dynamics. Every design element, from the large air inlets and the expressive light-alloy wheels to the athletic rear, underscores the sheer power of this high-performance sports car.

PERFECTED+

IMPRESSIVE+

The forward-thrusting front end with the high-gloss black double-bar kidney grille with M3 emblem and the large air inlets is complemented by dynamic-design all-LED headlights. Their filigree design and impressive brilliance guarantee a confident presence in daylight hours, and perfectly illuminate the road ahead at night.

EXPRESSIVE+

The rear view with its wide track creates a lasting impression. Progressive-design LED rear lights accentuate the resolute stance, as do the wide high-performance sports tyres. The M rear spoiler increases the downforce, for improved aerodynamics. And the M diffuser and angled M twin tailpipes blend perfectly into the rear apron with the characteristic air outlets.

AERODYNAMIC+

The two upright inlets for the Air Curtain and the M gill elements at the sides with integral Air Breather element reduce aerodynamic drag around the wheel arches. This optimises the aerodynamic performance and, coincidentally, also increases the heart rate.

LIGHT+

As part of the BMW intelligent lightweight construction concept, the Carbon roof made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) helps to reduce the vehicle's weight, shifting the car's centre of gravity lower. This leads to an increase in agility and dynamics when taking a bend, accelerating and braking.

ACCENTUATED+

In the rear lights, too, the lighting functions are performed entirely by means of light-emitting diodes. Their stretched L-shape with the continuous lighting design forms a fluid transition with the luggage compartment lid, accentuating the distinctive styling of the rear end.

DRIVER-FOCUSED+

Squarely within the field of view are the instrument display in M design and the ergonomic M leather steering wheel. Individual set-ups are activated using the central M Drive buttons. On the version with M double-clutch transmission, there are also shift paddles directly behind the steering wheel rim trimmed on the outside with soft leather nappa.

SIDE SUPPORT+

The bucket-style M seats, integral head restraints and illuminated M logo at shoulder level offer perfect side support and encourage new personal bests. Because their systematic use of lightweight construction helps to reduce the vehicle’s weight. For extra support during sporty driving, there is a knee pad on the driver’s side of the centre console.

ACCENTS+

When the M character is taken to the next level, this becomes apparent in the details: on the centre console, for example, where selected elements such as radio and climate control are highlighted with chrome applications.

EXCLUSIVE+

Driving at the limit and immersing yourself in an exclusive, sporty atmosphere is never a contradiction in the BMW M3 Sedan. The M seats share the same excellent build quality as the entire interior. A prime example: shown here, the fine-grain Merino leather in Opal White from the BMW Individual Collection.

EYECATCHER+

Genuine exclusivity stands up to the scrutiny of a second glance. For example in the optionally available interior trim strips in Piano Finish Black, from the BMW Individual Collection. With their high-gloss surface finish, they add the finishing touch to the sporty, progressive design of the entire interior.

450 HP

With the optional M Competition package, the BMW M3 Sedan extracts even more dynamism from the 331 kW engine. Also inclusive: specially matched Adaptive M suspension, burnished 20” M light alloy wheels Star-Spoke style 666 M with mixed tyres and an M Sport exhaust system for an even more distinctive sound.

DRIVING DYNAMICS+

Convincing on the racetrack. Impressive on roads. Especially with the optional M Competition package. With an engine output of 450 HP and a whole host of innovations inspired by motor racing to ramp up the vehicle’s sporty character. The specially tuned Adaptive M suspension, the Active M Differential, M Servotronic or the seven-speed M double-clutch transmission redefine where the handling limits lie – and recast the driver of the BMW M3 Sedan as an extreme athlete.

M TWINPOWER TURBO INLINE 6-CYLINDER PETROL ENGINE.

M TWINPOWER TURBO INLINE 6-CYLINDER PETROL ENGINE.

The 3.0 l M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine blends the best of two worlds: a high-revving character capable of up to 7,600 rpm, and superior power culminating in peak torque of 550 Nm. Bi-turbo direct injection and typical M fine tuning make sure the engine responds directly to even the slightest touch of the accelerator with vigorous thrust and confident traction. Numerous innovations such as sleeveless construction or a lighter, forged crankshaft build on the intelligent lightweight construction concept, improve dynamics and acceleration, reduce consumption and enable an optimum axle load distribution of almost 50:50. The reward: unprecedentedly agile handling that’s impressively underscored by the unmistakable sound of the M engine.

AGILITY+

BMW EfficientLightweight is an efficient lightweight-construction approach involving the use of ultra-light materials, and is the top priority in M vehicles. It realises a significant weigh saving while boosting body rigidity. The benefits include an axle load distribution of almost 50:50 and a lower vehicle centre of gravity. In practice, that means improved directional stability and traction, along with better dynamics and agility.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The figures in brackets refer to the vehicle with seven-speed M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic.

Consumption data is determined in accordance to the ECE driving cycle, depending on the wheel and tyre sizes selected. The models illustrated include optional equipment.

The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the offering; they are intended solely as a basis for comparison of the different vehicle types. CO2 emissions occurring during the production and provision of the fuel or other energy sources are disregarded when determining the CO2 emissions in accordance with Directive 1999/94/EC.
